This issue is of concern to farmers especially as their equipment runs on proprietary software and the companies won't release the schematics that would allow owners to fix problems quickly, easily and for a lower cost.

Thank you very much for your video.
I have a similar model "mhk23ru/a"
I was wondering if there are ports for ssd. Perhaps they would not be soldered.
But your video is hard to find.
It would be nice if you specified the model "mhk23, mhk23ll/a".
Hi, I'm glad you found this video of benefit to you.
MHK33C/A is the model number, I just checked for you. There was one port for the NVMe SSD, and another port for a cable to install either a HDD or SSD. I know there are adapters too if your SSD doesn't fit in the main socket. You can buy them on OWC's website. All pertinent information should be in the description of this video.
I can recommend a couple videos to you... this one to start with.

This is the first video I found that gave me a sense of the steps I would have to take.

@@technofeeliak OWC is ripping of Customers with their overpriced cables and adapters
To anyone trying this.....
The little microphone ribbon cable which covered the tamper evident screw on the logic board has a tiny latch at the front which should be released before ripping the connector out.
The alligator type latches on the power supply cables under the edge of logic board and chassis are easily depressed with fingers rather than metal tweezers. I'd recommend 'walking' the remaining cable connectors out with plastic spudgers rather than yanking them clear with tweezers or fingers.
Take your time. You can do no end of damage if your metal tweezers slip.

Since this iMac can support both an NVME and SATA, you could theoretically put in an 8TB NVME with an adapter and then a 16TB SATA to make a great Media PC. It would be a very pricy upgrade, but a 110% Maxed out 21.5" iMac is always a fun thing to think about considering that they were only discontinued 3 years ago.
That's good information.
I appreciate your contribution.
I hope it helps someone.
For me,
I need this to work with an audio interface.
What I had wasn't up to specifications.
It looks like your video is the only one on whole TH-cam when a person put a 95w processor in an iMac 21.5 2019.
As far as I understand, the cooling system allows to install a CPU up to 65W.
What's your opinion? How it works? Does it run silently when performing basic tasks? No issues? Have you tried turning on the CPU benchmark for 10-20 minutes?
I have exactly the same computer in the basic configuration, and I got the i9 9900KF at a good price. I'm going to put it inside.
Thanks for the appreciation, but I did refer to other videos before I attempted this myself.
If you look in this video's description you'll find all kinds of links.
The components inside resemble laptop parts.
Apple, like Nintendo, gets old technology and makes it as efficient as possible. But Apple overcharges. This was 2,500$ and couldn't handle streaming video.
The only reason I felt this purchase was necessary was in relation to my Universal Audio Apollo X8P.
Hey again, I can recommend you watch this video:
th-cam.com/video/uxcOXEXbSsg/w-d-xo.html&ab_channel=TheBeefMaster
I wonder if OWC will ever make 64GB SODIMMs for this. Since technically the CPU can go all the way up to 128GB. OWC has made 128GB UDIMMS before for the Mac Pro and iMac Pro
Hi. Do you have any thermal problem? I plan to upgrade too.
Thanks for your video.
I didn't notice any temperature issues.
The CPU runs at the right number of watts.
So it shouldn't heat any more than the intel i5 that was originally in there.
I am underway to do the same upgrades. My main question is I am only upgrading to a I5 and 32gb ram . I am also doing a 1tb ssd. Did you have to make a boot drive for the computer to start? I’m a little confused about how to get booted up with a fresh ssd. Also I think I have the Radeon 555 card and not certain that is upgradable.
Thanks for the awesome video
There's no reason to upgrade to an i5 if you have the same model. But I guess in your case you have an i3?
The SSD was purchased especially for this, having some kind of special boot configuration on it.
I don't know, maybe any SSD will work.
I didn't get any formal training to do this you understand? I just researching and acquiring the necessary parts until I felt confident enough to take a big chance.

What graphics chip is in it? Also i'm pretty sure you reinstalled that cpu retention spring plate upside down when you were reassembling it.
Maybe... but the graphics chip is whatever it's listed as on the apple website.

How long does it take for IMAC to turn on? Sir
20 seconds I guess.

Hey, was thinking of getting a 9900k for my 2019 as well. Can't seem to find a 9900 (non-K), so was curious if you had any long term issues with using a 95w part rather than a 65w part?
Hey Bryan,
I haven't used the iMac much because I'm still working on my setup with the synth keyboard and studio monitors. The last time I had it working there wasn't any issue.
The way I see it, the design was made flexible in case Apple wanted to offer an upgraded version.
If you can get this CPU then I recommend you go for it now.
Otherwise, you may want to forget that and get an M2. Because the CPU alone is going for about 760$ on Amazon.ca. With the RAM and everything else you're looking at over 1000$.
I'll explain that I did this because I wanted the cheapest iMac I could find brand new.
And it turned out that it wasn't good enough for my music setup. I don't like Apple's business model. They've finally caved and help users fix their own products. But it's just so much easier building and maintaining PCs.

Hey Bry, buying this would be taking a chance, so maybe it's not worth the risk.
But I'm going to inform you anyway that you can get a new i9-9900k from Giena.

Thank you! 9900s are really hard to find so I am considering a 9900k. This is more of a project for me, but not looking to blow the bank…
@@ivtecdaily Tell me, have you installed the processor? If so, how does he show himself at work? Ps: Sorry for my English
it comes with 65 watt processor...is i9 9900k 95 watt processor ok? working fine? any heating issues?
Felicidades por el video
congratulations for the video
men! My respects!!! great job!!! great result…
Thank you. And it was really scary to attempt this.
Imagine, I walked 4 hours in an ice storm to and from the mall to pick this up. It cost me 2,500$ too.
When I tried it at home it would barely handle 720p video on TH-cam.
For my needs, it has to be compatible with the Universal Audio Apollo X8P.
I've taught myself to build PCs, but this is more like a laptop. Something that wasn't designed for upgrades at all. Not even for the RAM, or the storage space. Because the cable I used to add an SSD was an additional purchase from Amazon.
I'm facing even bigger challenges now.
So your comment is encouraging.
Merry Christmas and a happy new year Polo!
Do you install macOS in the nvme or the Kingston SSD?
Kind of.
Read this description from Amazon.ca:
//This is the name of the NVMe:
- OWC 1.0TB Aura Pro X2 SSD Compatible with MacBook Air (Mid 2013-2017), and MacBook Pro (Retina, Late 2013 - Mid 2015), Mac Pro (Late 2013), and Mac Mini (Late 2014) -
//This is the information pertinent to your question:
NO HASSLES OR HACKS COMPATIBILITY
Aura Pro X2 SSD upgrades are precisely engineered for your Mac, so you'll never need to compromise your data by relying on complicated software hacks or TRIM-enablers to get the most from your upgrade. Just install, migrate your data, and enjoy the great performance of flash storage with up to 16x the capacity of the original drive.
I did have to download the latest OS from Apple.
The same way you would update your Microsoft Windows operating system.
I've put all the links in the description to the components I bought for this upgrade.
So if you need a guide you should be all set with that.
@@technofeeliak i mean, i want install the macOS and the apps in the nvme aura and keep the hdd and I want to know if this will make slow the Mac because Fusion Drive
@@elunicoannaI don't have a fusion drive. The NVMe should be fast enough. Install what you want and see what happens.
I recommend watching the video titled "How to Upgrade a 2019 iMac - New SSD and RAM" on TH-cam.
The RAM… Is it the same model for iMac A2116?
I'm not an Apple expert so I can't give you a definite answer.
You should do a google search.
There's also IFixit.
www.ifixit.com/Device/iMac_Intel_21.5%22_Retina_4K_Display_2019
Ok so I think I have the same version but instead of the nvme SSD i have the 1TB fusion drive. So I was thinking about swapping out the HDD to a 1TB Samsung sata SSD. Can you tell me if its possible? Thanks love your video :D
If you already have an internal HDD, then you must have the cable that connects it to the motherboard. It's a SATA cable. If for whatever reason you need to buy that cable you can look in the video's description to find a link to Amazon's product page. Otherwise, you'll have to search Ebay or elsewhere if they don't have it anymore. But, you likely have the cable.
You're confusing me by mentioning the NVMe SSD. How is that relevant to adding or swapping your internal storage? Whatever is running your operating system is separate from the internal storage. As you've seen in the video. The NVMe SSD would have to be configured to run the OS. I've put a link in the description to the NVMe SSD I purchased.
Is this upgrade identical to the model MRT42LL/A - iMac "Core i5" 3.0 21.5" (4K, 2019)?
Thx for your answer.
If you want more technical information I would look to Apple.
Apparently this model has a unused SATA port that u can use to add additional storage, having 2 interal SSD’s on a iMac would be so nice
That's right.
If you look at my video at 16:27 you'll see how I'm using the cable I bought to connect an SSD to the logic board. There was very little memory as I had 256GB of file space and only 8GB or RAM for 2,500.00$ Canadian.
At 21:30 you'll see I've upgraded the RAM to 64GB.
There is also 2TB of file space now.
I've included many links in the description.
This one is for the cable that connects an SSD to that unused port.

@@rahuladukadukkam5203 I just saw your comment. I'm sorry I don't know for sure.
Did you find the answer already?
It has an upgradable CPU?! Oh damn..
It's not soldered to the board.
Technically you're right.
But Apple would tell you it's not upgradable.
Also, you'll have to find a compatible CPU.
The unit came with 6GB of RAM and now has 64GB.
That's something else that needs to be changed.
An adapter has to be purchased to add an Sata SSD.
The internal memory for storage was 256GB. But between the SSD and the NVMe SSD the OS now runs on this has together make up 2TB.
Only the graphics cards couldn't be changed as the component that's in there is soldered to the motherboard.
Unfortunately You wrong screwing the CPU bracket it should be turned on and tied the whole heatsink assembly. Watch your wideo from beginning a look when you remove it.
Pretty sure I corrected it.
Hello, and to know if it is possible to change the processor of my iMac model machine iMac (Retina 4K, 21.5 inches, 2017) It currently has a 3.4 GHz Intel Core i5 quad-core processor. Do you know how much I can upload it? Well, according to Apple, these legends indicate that I copied and pasted you. (Configurable to Intel Core i7 with 4 cores and 3.6 GHz (Turbo Boost up to 4.2 GHz) And if the replacement part is correct, how do I order it online or how would I look for the replacement part???? since it gives me many results and it is confusing for me to find the part to replace. Well, the processor is where I have the most doubts
On the other hand, memory indicates this...
Memory
3.0GHz
8 GB of 2400 MHz DDR4 memory
Configurable to 16 GB
3.4GHz
8 GB of 2400 MHz DDR4 memory
Configurable to 16 GB or 32 GB
But obviously I haven't opened it, I don't know if it works at 3.0 GHz or 3.4 GHz, as I understand it and if it uses 3.4 GHz it is possible to maximize it up to 32GB. Is my thinking correct?
And finally, on the hard drive, it has a 1TB HDD but it indicates that it can be replaced as follows...
Storage
3.0GHz
1 TB hard drive (5400 rpm)
Configurable to 1TB Fusion Drive or 256GB or 512GB SSD
3.4GHz
1TB Fusion Drive
Configurable to 256 GB, 512 GB or 1 TB SSD
But my doubt is!!! If I can install an SSD with a larger capacity than the one proposed on the page, it indicates up to 1TB. But it can be increased from 2TB to 4TB?????
Or would you definitely not recognize it?
I hope for your help with these three ways to maximize the performance of this old machine.
Hi, and merry Christmas.
I want to direct you to the comments I put myself under my video.
You should be able to upgrade to an i9 intel CPU with the characteristics of the CPU I used.
Just check under my video.
So this is my iMac's upgrade!
The specs:
From an i5 3.0GHz 65W Intel CPU
to an i9 3.6GHz 95W Intel CPU
From 8GB of RAM
to 64GB of RAM
From 256GB of file space
to 2TB of file space|
If the pins match, and the CPU doesn't demand too much power, then you should be fine.
Mind you, I'm not an Apple expert. So do your research and don't cut corners.
Cheap Kingston A400 SSD ? in iMac 4K Retina 2019 ? Why ???
There should be Samsung EVO/Pro or WD Blue.
Cost. But do you what you want.
This iMac wasn't purchased to be a high end super performant computer.
I needed it to be up to specifications for my audio interface.
You wouldn't say "cheap" if you considered what I paid for everything altogether.
The Kingston SSD is only for storage, and there's an expensive NVMe SSD running the OS.
I added about 50% more to the cost of this computer just by swapping out components.
Originally there was no additional storage. Only 256GB. I even had to buy a cable to connect it to the motherboard.
So, if we're going to characterize someone as cheap, I'd point to Apple inc..
So the CPU was an i5, the storage was 256GB, the RAM was 8GB.
It's a major upgrade to have an i9, 2TB of storage and 64GB of RAM.
And I feel good about that.
And surprise!
I'm poor and legally considered an "invalid". I've been prohibited from going to school and taking accredited courses.
I've only been allowed to earn up to 100$/month in addition to my disability money for about a decade.
I've walked 10 hours some days to save on bus fare.
Maybe you don't have that problem.
I was given a chance, I received an inheritance.
The iMac is a terrible value for the money.
I built a PC that outperforms this thing many times over for less.
But, a Universal Audio Apollo X8P isn't really compatible with Windows PCs.
I bought this computer at an Apple store at the start of the COVID crisis.
They didn't have much stock, they were just closing and stayed open for me.
I walked 4 hours through an ice storm to get it.
Would a 10 core i9 work with these 21.5" ?
Funny you should ask. I bought one in case.
The information I came by online didn't recommend it. If I remember correctly it's not compatible. You don't have to take my word for it though.
If you can find a diagram or photo of the pins on the CPU and the slots on the logic board of the iMac to compare them... but then there's the wattage.
Here's a video I can recommend you watch:

As an owner of one such piece of crap, I can only say it ist the worst computer I have ever known. I went and bought another Apple with 32Gb Ram second hand 12 years old now and a beauty. But this one is DREADFUL. Don't go near it. This is a good video but the difficulty of upgrade should be well clear to you.
I agree 100%.
Apple should feel ashamed.
But the general standards companies are following puts this piece of crap into the average and not some exceptional category.
I was just watching a video that shamed kids for getting into debt for a college degree.
There are so many scams.
When the foundation of society is whittled away there is no solid ground.
There is no reliability/integrity.
In which case, those who don't have unlimited means have to find solutions similar to scratching their hose with their left foot.
The work arounds are uncomfortable and even painful at times.
All I wanted was the operating system from the iMac. I thought I could make a hackintosh as the term was coined. I asked for the least expensive model which was about 2,500$ with apple care.
This is compatible with my audio recording equipment from Universal Audio.
But because it was so underpowered it wasn't up to specifications and I had to make the difficult decision to upgrade what would have been a paperweight.
I used Apple computers at school. They were fraught with bugs and ran slow. They had limited compatibility with software solutions as well as hardware. I wasn't keen on making this purchase for that reason. And to say I was disappointed would be an understatement considering the work involved in upgrading it, the fear it inspired, and the financial cost.
Anyway, thanks very much for your comment.
I hope anyone considering buying from Apple thinks twice. And maybe this video I've produced can be a warning.
Great mod even for windows to play gta5/6, given connected to a thunderbolt gpu. Saved you an Xbox series x at least and u can still make the most of the gpu for vid editing. Good Job.
My goodness!! that's a lot of work lol
It began when I received money and decided I wanted audio recording equipment such as the Universal Apollo X8P.
There was a lot of traveling to the city to get the components and a lot of research online before I made my choice.
I knew before hand that a PC wouldn't work well with the audio interface and the purchase of an iMac or at least a hackintosh build would be necessary.
I walked for 4 hours in an ice storm to get the iMac. When I tried playing TH-cam videos on it in 4K I found that my 2,500$ investment was not more performant that a regular laptop from a few years back. I also realized that it wasn't going to meet the requirements of the audio interface.
I had something like a paperweight on my hands.
The following three months were dedicated to finding out if and how I could upgrade the iMac.
I found the parts, some general instructions, and took a chance. What you see in this video is also the product of prior experience with building PCs.
I was prohibited from having a job or going to school as I was on disability support. I saved up everything I could for about a year towards my first build. It was my first, and it was nerve racking. I've built other PCs since. But the iMac upgrade was particularly daunting because it's not meant to be opened. And there was no guarantee the parts I bought would be compatible or be functional. My Apple care and warranty would have been void and I paid an extra 200$ for that. I don't like Apple as a company. It's not fun getting a low end product for such a cost, then having to face the possibility of destroying it by simply attempting to make it perform at the level of a modern PC. So that's my story.
The next steps involve building furniture.
I'm in the process.
It makes a terrible mess.
Everything made from scratch for my little studio.
In other words you may as well throw the damn thing away.
It was a brand new paperweight. Now it's a refurbished performant iMac.
In other words.
Its still slow.
lol. It's an iMac. Just think different ;)
It meets the requirements for compatibility with my audio recording equipment.

You're like the other dummy that commented that this isn't a good tutorial.
Never said I was a professional.
Never said this was a tutorial.
I see you're playing video games.
Do you claim to be a professional?
@@technofeeliak you couldn’t even assemble the back part of the socket😂😂😂 if you pay attention to how this metal thing stood before you took it off, you didn’t put it in correctly with your little hands! Imagine someone coming here to look at your views, a person just like you, and he will assemble his iMac in exactly the same way, and he will have big problems. because you are a professional
@@technofeeliak remember next time! don't forget to take pictures on your phone so you don't forget
@@technofeeliak your really professional 🤣🤣🤣🤣

You are not a professional who does this everyday, that’s why you made a lot of mistake during de procedure, you better learn more before do lessons!
Listen, I didn't do this for you.
It works, I never claimed to be an expert.
Also this is not a tutorial.
It's meant to document what I've done.
Other people seem to have gained something from the video.
But really this is for my own amusement.
Maybe you're simply dissatisfied with yourself and your expectations. Neither of which have anything to do with me or this iMac.
Also, if you're critical of anything that isn't perfect then I recommend you work on mastering the English language before you write comments in English.
"better learn more before do..." English.
